Kipepeo Shadrack Nungwi backpackers ( Zanzibar — Hotel in Unguja

We spent three nights in one of the bungalows here, and it was lovely.|Shadrock is amazing, he sorted us out with everything we needed, including organising a snorkelling trip for us, and we were given welcome juice on arrival. |The bungalows are quite open, and I would say it's more of a glamping experience than a hostel, but the gardens are beautiful and there are two beaches within walking distance of this quieter, secluded area of Nungwi. Highly recommend getting up and going to Morning Beach (ask Shadrock for directions), it's stunning landscape and nobody around but the tide comes right up at around 3pm so best to enjoy it earlier in the day.|The amenities are very basic, a kind of camping style block, but attached to Kipepeo is Kipepeo cafe which serves great food much cheaper than central Nungwi. And breakfast is amazing, omelette, toast and a plate of fruit with a hot drink for 8,000tzs :)|Overall a really secluded and natural experience, nice to be away from the main tourist area of Nungwi. Recommend the snorkelling trip to Mnemba conservation area the wildlife was insane, and also pop over to the Zanzibari opposite, you can buy an ice cream and then use their pool! Shadrock and the lovely staff really made it special, highly recommend if you're on a tight budget but still want access to beautiful beaches and don't mind the simple but sweet...

Very beautiful and low budget place !! ||||I was traveling with 2 friends in Zanzibar in September 2019.||We had a wonderful time at Kipepeo Backpackers. ||Simple, but very beautiful rooms. It feels like sleeping in the nature, because you can hear the sound of the nature while you are in the bed.||Also nice toilet and shower:) ||||The location is very good. In less then 3 minutes walk you are at the beach. The best thing: You can just walk left (direction west) and you will catch up all the busy, but nice beaches from Nungwi. And if you walk right (direction East) you will find all the beautiful, lonely beaches and even amazing sandbanks. ||||Shedrock (the owner) and his team are one of the most friendly people I have met during my time in Zanzibar. ||If you need any recommendations or local tipps, just ask him. He knows the island like his pocket.||||Enjoy your stay and may God bless...

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!
